Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to on-board diagnostics, and more particularly to a method for monitoring the performance of an oxidation catalyst in the exhaust-line of an internal combustion engine.
- Catalytic converters are now conventionally featured on exhaust systems of automotive vehicles to purify the engine exhaust gases.
- the most commonly used catalytic converter is the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), typically associated with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Its main function is to convert hydrocarbons (HC) in the exhaust gas stream to water (H 2 O) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). These converters often reach 90% effectiveness, virtually eliminating diesel odor and helping to reduce visible particulates (soot).
- on-board diagnostics of the DOC are typically based on the exotherm generated by a post-injection (i.e. the injection of fuel during the exhaust stroke), see FR 2914693 A1 .
- the post-injection increases the amount of uncombusted HC in the exhaust stream, which will be converted in the DOC into water and CO 2 .
- This conversion involves exothermic oxidation reactions that produce an amount of heat that is directly linked to the pre-DOC concentration (i.e. the amount of HC entering the DOC).
- DPF diesel particulate filters
- the DOC diagnostic in a diesel engine is typically performed during the regeneration mode of the DPF, which implies a combustion mode with post-injection.
- the typical conversion efficiency diagnostic consists in monitoring the exotherm of the DOC by comparing the pre- and post-DOC temperatures of the exhaust gases, and thus check whether a post-injection actually causes an increase in the exhaust-gases downstream of the DOC.
- Performing the diagnostic during a DPF regeneration mode also ensures that the DOC is at a relatively high temperature, since a minimum temperature of the DOC is required for enabling the conversion.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an alternative method of monitoring an oxidation catalyst that permits a reliable, long term monitoring of the catalyst conversion efficiency.
- the present invention is based on the observation that when the diagnostic of a catalytic converter is performed in a high temperature range thereof, as is typically the case during a regeneration event, there is a risk of erroneous assessment.
- the reason for this is that an (highly) aged catalytic converter can still have a good efficiency in the high temperature range and be inefficient in a colder temperature range of an emission test cycle. Therefore, a regeneration event with a high DOC temperature and/or a high temperature of engine-out exhaust gases cannot be used to safely diagnose a DOC.
- the present invention proposes a method as claimed in claim 1.
- the present invention relates to a method for monitoring an oxidation catalyst in an exhaust line of an internal combustion engine, wherein a catalyst diagnostic event comprises a test cycle during which a conversion capability of the oxidation catalyst is determined based on the exotherm generated by post-injection of fuel.
- the diagnostic event may only be initiated when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst lies within a predetermined temperature range.
- test cycle comprises a post-injection event and an exotherm monitoring period that lasts, after the post-injection event, until essentially all of the heat stored in the oxidation catalyst has been evacuated.
- the predetermined temperature range is advantageously selected to be able to discriminate between a new or mildly aged catalyst and an aged catalyst, and should thus cover a temperature range for which it is expected that the conversion efficiency of a highly aged catalyst will be sensibly below that of a more recent, functional catalyst (i.e. operating satisfactorily).
- An alert signal may then be triggered when the conversion efficiency drops below a conversion efficiency alert threshold.
- the predetermined temperature range is selected to correspond to a transition zone of the conversion efficiency for a reference oxidation catalyst with given ageing.
- the predetermined temperature range is preferably selected to correspond to a temperature range where the conversion efficiency of the reference oxidation catalyst with a selected ageing is less than 100%, and more preferably has a conversion efficiency sensibly lower than that of a less aged, functional oxidation catalyst.
- the values of conversion efficiency values at different temperatures for the reference oxidation catalyst are calibrated and determined by experimentation.
- the upper temperature limit of the predetermined temperature range corresponds to a conversion efficiency of no more than 90% for the aged, reference oxidation catalyst.
- the predetermined temperature range is selected so that its lower and upper temperature limits correspond to a conversion efficiency of about 40 to 80%, respectively, for an aged, reference oxidation catalyst, more preferably 40 to 60%.
- a further criterion for the lower temperature limit of the predetermined temperature range is that it shall at least correspond to a predetermined conversion efficiency of a functional oxidation catalyst (with given ageing), which is preferably of at least 50 %.
- the present diagnostic event is advantageously performed when the engine is not operated in a DPF regeneration mode.
- the latter is cancelled in case the temperature of the oxidation catalyst exits the predetermined temperature range. This in particular if it happens during the post-injection event.
- the oxidation catalyst temperature may be monitored by means of a multi-slice model, and the diagnostic event may only be triggered and/or performed when the respective temperatures of all of said slices lie within the predetermined temperature range.
- the engine parameters may advantageously be set to minimize the amount of HC in the engine-out exhaust gases, except for the post injection.
- the measured exotherm is determined by monitoring the temperature of exhaust gases exiting the oxidation catalyst for a given time period after a post-injection.
- DOCs are now commonly found in the exhaust system of diesel motor vehicles. They are often arranged upstream of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) for assisting in the regeneration thereof. Indeed, in order to eliminate soot particles collected in a DPF, it is conventional to increase the temperature of the exhaust gases by operating the engine in an adapted combustion mode involving (1) split and retarded fuel injections; and (2) performing post-injection to increase the amount of unburned HC in the exhaust gases. The unburned HC undergoes in the DOC exothermic oxidation reactions, and is converted into water and carbon dioxide.
- DPF diesel particulate filter
- Fig.1 shows the effect of ageing on a DOC, the HC conversion efficiency being plotted vs. DOC temperature.
- an aged catalytic converter can still have a good efficiency in the high temperature range (e.g. typically above 300°C for many DOCs).
- the highly aged catalyst clearly has a worse or unacceptable conversion efficiency at lower temperatures (e.g. below 250°C).
- the present method proposes to perform the DOC diagnostic event at lower or moderate temperatures, where it is actually possible to assess the ageing status of the DOC and not simply whether it is broken or not.
- the temperature window during which the diagnostic event can be formed in accordance with the present method is e.g. 150 to 200°C.
- the diagnostic event is preferably performed when the engine is operated normally (normal combustion mode, e.g. lean burn) but not in a regeneration mode of DPF that causes high temperature exhaust gases and thus brings the DOC in the high temperature range.
- the DOC temperature is preferably monitored according to a multi-sliced model, i.e. the DOC is virtually divided into multiples slice and an algorithm is used to determine the temperature in each slice based on one or more temperature measurements of the DOC.
- the oxidation catalyst diagnostic event is thus performed when the DOC is in the predetermined temperature window, as explained above.
- This temperature window will typically be calibrated based on experimental testing, simulation, forced ageing test, etc. for a given make and type of catalyst.
- the diagnostic event involves the following test cycle. While it has been checked that the DOC temperature is within the prescribed window, and that the engine is not operated in a DPF regeneration mode or other rich combustion mode, a post-injection of a metered quantity of fuel is performed.
- post-injection designates the injection of fuel either in-cylinder or in the exhaust piping, before the DOC, at a timing where no or little combustion occurs. In-cylinder post injection may typically be executed towards the end of the power stroke (or later). However, as compared to the post-injection traditionally performed in DPF regeneration mode, the amount of fuel that is injected in the post-injection pulse is comparatively smaller.
- the objective is not to actually bring the DOC in the high temperature range, but to monitor the consequence of the post-injection and check whether it results in the expected exotherm or not.
- typically a small quantity of post fuel e.g. a few grams is injected to generate a temporary exotherm in the DOC.
- the heat generated by the DOC is accumulated (taken into account by the algorithm implementing the test cycle). This is preferably done by measuring the temperature of the exhaust gases at the DOC outlet (or downstream thereof). When all the heat stored in the DOC has been evacuated in the exhaust gases, the heat accumulation stops and is compared to the theoretical heat that the post fuel should have produced. The conversion efficiency is then calculated as the ratio of the accumulated heat to the theoretical heat that the post fuel should have produced.
- the instantaneous total heat energy of the exhaust gases that exit the DOC corresponds to the sum of the heat energy of the exhaust gases that enter the DOC and the heat energy due to the exotherm that is linked to the injected fuel quantity, however corrected by a term representative of transients namely taking into account the thermal inertia of the DOC.
- T in represents the exhaust gas temperature at the DOC inlet
- T out represents the exhaust gas temperature at the DOC outlet
- ⁇ is the DOC conversion efficiency
- m represents the mass flow of the exhaust gases
- Cp represents the heat capacity of the exhaust gases
- q f represents the fuel quantity introduced in the exhaust gases by the post fuel injection
- Q DOC _ stored is the heat energy stored in the DOC material
- H is the fuel heating value.
- T out-mod represents a model DOC-out exhaust gas temperature of an "inert" DOC, i.e. when no post-injection is performed and thus typically without exotherm. It may be noted that in this mathematical approach, T out-mod is equivalent to a stabilized T in ; and q f ⁇ H corresponds to the theoretical exotherm.
- Fig.2 The principle of this integration is illustrated in Fig.2 , wherein the measured exhaust gas temperature T out and the modeled exhaust gas temperature without post-injection T out-mod are plotted vs. time.
- the integration is started with the post injection pulse and performed until all the heat accumulated in the DOC is eliminated.
- the test cycle starts with a small post-injection pulse/event and comprises an exotherm monitoring period during which the exotherm is monitored and that lasts until essentially all of the heat due to the post-injection and stored in the catalyst has been evacuated.
- the exotherm monitoring period starts with the post-injection event and is continued after the post-injection event, until all of the heat has been evacuated.
- the monitoring of the heat in the catalyst implies measuring the exhaust gas temperature at the DOC outlet (T out ), and the heat is accumulated (integrated) in order to determine the quantity of heat (i.e. the exotherm) actually generated by the post-injection event.
- the end of the monitoring period and thus the elimination of the heat due to the exotherm can be determined by comparing the exhaust gas temperature at the DOC outlet T out to the model DOC-out exhaust gas temperature T out-mod .
- T out - T out-mod drops below a predetermined threshold, it can be concluded that the heat has evacuated and the monitoring can be stopped. In other words, the monitoring period ends when T out and T out-mod are substantially equal.
- the end of the exotherm monitoring period can be indicated by the expiry of a calibrated timer.
- a calibrated timer can have a duration that is known (from experimentation/testing) to be greater than the time required for the exotherm (caused by the known post-fuel injection) to be evacuated.
- the post-injection event shown in Fig.2 can be a continuous pulse when injected directly in the exhaust line, but will correspond to multiple additional fuel amounts when injected in the cylinder.
- the injection of a post-fuel amount of 1 to 15 g during a period of 1 to 20 s is suitable for conducting the present diagnostic with most types of oxidation catalyst currently in use in automotive vehicles. With such post-injection fuel, it is expected that the exotherm monitoring period will last between 1 and 10 minutes.
- the exact amount of fuel entering the DOC ( q f ) must be known and is thus precisely metered.
- the post fuel injected is preferably corrected for engine-out temperature and exhaust flow, using e.g. a calibratable correction factor.
- the EGR rate for cars equipped with an EGR valve permitting to recirculate part of the exhaust gases back to the intake manifold, is preferably reduced to a predetermined value during the diagnostic event.
- any other parameter that may affect the engine-out HC concentration e.g. swirl in the combustion chamber, is preferably set, for the duration of the diagnostic event, to a predetermined value that minimizes the engine-out HC.
- oxidation catalyst technologies are based on zeolites, which have a substantial HC storing effect at low temperature (typically ⁇ 250°C).
- a predetermined time period below a predetermined temperature threshold This may typically be the case if the engine has been running idle for a while.
- a diagnostic event may subsequently be started when it is observed that the DOC temperature has increased above the temperature threshold, provided the other required conditions are met.
- the diagnostic event is preferably cancelled if the DOC temperatures goes out of the diagnostic temperature window. And in particular if the DOC temperature goes out of the diagnostic temperature window during the performance of the post-injection event of the test cycle. In this respect it may be noted that since the post-injection is relatively short, the likelihood that the DOC temperature exits the diagnostic temperature window is low.
- the idea is to operate the diagnostic in a DOC temperature window where an aged, namely a highly aged catalyst cannot be assessed as less aged catalyst.
- this implies determining the limits of the diagnostic temperature window based on a highly aged catalyst that serves as a reference (reference oxidation catalyst).
- the upper limit of the window should be selected to correspond to a conversion efficiency below 100% of the reference catalyst, preferably below 90%. In the example of Fig.1 , this means a upper limit for the time window of 200°C.
- the lower limit may be, as already mentioned 150°C, which is a temperature at which conversion is enabled, although quite low.
- An additional criterion for selecting the lower limit may be that the temperature is sufficient for a functional oxidation catalyst, e.g. as the mildly aged catalyst of Fig.1 , to reach the light-off point, i.e. a conversion efficiency of 50% (which is the case here at 150°C).
- the diagnostic temperature window may be selected to correspond to a conversion efficiency ranging from 40 to 60% for the reference, highly aged catalyst. Applying this to Fig.1 , it can be deduced from the curve of the highly aged catalyst (reference) that the corresponding diagnostic temperature window is 170°C to 185°C. As it can be seen, this temperature range corresponds to a steep transition zone of the conversion efficiency of this reference (highly aged) catalyst. It is notably remote from the conversion efficiency curve of the mildly aged catalyst.
- the present method can be easily implemented in the ECU of an internal combustion engine and does not require additional, specific equipment (for most engines/vehicles).
